If EASA or Tomcat has been set up to run as a service for a previous version of EASA, then remove the old EASA or Tomcat service before installing the latest one. See Remove the EASA Service.

• Windows EASA Server
• Linux EASA Server

To install EASA service on a Windows computer:

• Log on to the EASA Server as Administrator.
• Open a Windows command prompt
• Change folder to the location of the EASA service installation executable file
  • Enter the following command:
    • cd <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
• At the prompt, type the following command:
  • service install
  • Restart the computer.

The EASA service has now been installed and automatically started on an EASA Server running Windows.

To install the EASA service on a Linux computer,

• Log on to the EASA Server as root.
• Open a shell window and create a symbolic link by entering the following command,
  • ln -s /full/path/to/<EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin/easa.sh /etc/init.d/easa
• Determine the run level for EASA.
  • If EASA is to run without loading the X Server, the EASA startup script should be linked to run level 3.
    • Create a symbolic link,
      • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S<num>easa
        • where <num> needs to be a unique integer less than 100.

For example: S30easa.

• Create a symbolic link,
  • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S30easa
• To run EASA together with the X Server, the EASA startup script should be linked to run level 5.
  • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S30easa

The EASA service is now installed on a Linux EASA Server.

Additionally we need to update a script so EASA may run as a linux daemon.

• Open <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin/easa.sh with an editor
• Go to the line,
  • . “$CATALINA_HOME/“bin/easa.conf
• Add a line below it,
  • cd “$CATALINA_HOME”
  • Save the file
    • → This will insure the daemon does not try to run (without enough permission!) in the default top level root directory
